Year of the Hare : A Novel

The Year of the Hare
Bok av Arto Paasilinna
Vatanen, a journalist, is feeling burned out and sick of the city. One summer evening, he and a photographer set out on an assignment, and as they drive through the country, the car hits a young hare. Vatanen leaves the car to save the injured creature, and the grateful animal adopts him. This small incident becomes a turning point in Vatanen's life as he decides to break free from the world's constraints. He quits his job, leaves his wife, and sells his possessions to travel the Finnish wilds with his newfound friend. During their farcical adventures they encounter forest fires, pagan sacrifices, military war games, killer bears, political scandals, and much more.
Mästerverk i ord och otroligt underhållande om en trött försupen journalist som på vägen hem från ett jobb hittar en skadad hare 🐰 som han tar hand om och börjar ett helt nytt liv. Roligt spännande och man känner att man skulle vilja göra detsamma i hans äventyr med haren och topp tre bland de hundratals böcker jag läst.
